The party we went over for was held at what felt like a remote location on the west coast of Wellington, but was in fact just 25 mins away from the city.

Set in a sheep station, the cliff views were intense indeed, the golf was extreme, the weather bitter and the open fire welcome.

and the food was, well, as spectacular as the view.

Where we stayed

This visit we stayed in Cuba St, at the CQ Hotel. Smack bang in the middle of some great eats (to suit all budgets), and quirky vintage and one off designer finds, you can’t get much better when it comes to position- regardless o whether you’re there for business or (like me) fun. The rooms are comfortable, well appointed and great value. There’s a great coffee shop attached (for those early morning caffeine runs) and joy of all joys, magazines in the rooms that are more than an advertisement for the hotel group. Most importantly, the room we had passed the very stringent Jo quietness test.

You have such an eye for detail and are so creative. Each of your pictures (in this post and always) – even if an iPhone photo – are just gorgeous. That’s a huge skill – being able to see the beauty (or potential beauty) in things.
